Judgments - Live Life Large

You know judgments are as much a part of your life as eating and breathing. People have judgments about everything, they think their judgments matter. Their judgments might be about themselves, about their self perception, others and their perception of others and the world around them.

What a silly concept, how can you judge situations that are in a constant state of change? People have blatant judgments and obscure judgments... small and petty judgments and large and paralyzing judgments. Stop and observe it's almost as if your mind waits for you to think ... anything - just so it can judge it.

A Judgment is different than making a decision or expressing a preference. In life you do make many decisions. You could also be afraid to make decisions. You usually find this fear has it's basis in your judgments. Your have beliefs and feelings about your past decisions whether they are right or wrong! You may look at your past history and judge you never make good decisions. The decisions aren't the problem - your judgments are what cause the anxiety and fear.

That all being said it is difficult to live a life without any judgments. It won't work to tell yourself not to judge anything again. As an alternative - observe what your judgment is when you are feeling bad and then see if you can let it go. If you are able to do that in the moment of your experience - you will have accomplished a major step on the way to reducing the judgments in your life that will allow you to live more in the moment and be more aware. People are not aware of the immediate or long term impacts of judgments. The more judgments you have the more restricted your experience of life will be.

It may seem like giving up your judgments is abit like giving up your identity. And actually you are! You are choosing to live a life larger than your judgments and greater than your current personality. To truly expand your life you must come from a space that is different than your present way of judging things. It is a risky path given no road map exists to find your way.. but it will assist you in moving toward the life you know you are meant to live.

When you appreciate what is, you are preparing yourself for the miracles that are just around the corner. When you judge what is you are blind to the joys of the moment.

The fewer your judgments the larger your life
